You are working out the design for a unit completing a a complex task. You have a choice of two algorithms. One requires 1000 multiply accumulates with 2000 caches reads. The other requires 2000 multiply accumulates with 1000 cache reads. Which would you choose to minimize energy per task?
2000 MACs and 1000 cache reads.
✅
Both consume the same energy for the task.
❌
1000 MACs and 2000 cache reads.
